The Academy Committee will: oversee the implementation of the Directors’ strategy, policy and procedures; monitor the effectiveness of the management in running the academy in accordance with the Directors’ strategy, policy and procedures; and report on the impact of the Directors’ strategic framework on the quality of provision, performance and standards of the academy.

The Chair of St Gregorys is Paul O’Donnell

Overall purpose of the committee

Provide the assurance that the strategy and policies of the Board of Directors’ are implemented at a local level in the academy.
Provide a strong monitoring, evaluation and reporting framework, so the education provided by the academy meets the needs of children in its care.
